"When, and how, did Ghyll develop Quezlar numerals?" - Morphous Ibb, age 7
Tim Timperton replies: "Like many things in Ghyll, they were designed to cover up the aesthetic problems of core script. Quezlarian (or Quezlar) Numerals, contrary to popular belief, were invented by Quezlar 6. According to recent research by the Council for Quezlarian Research, Quezlar 6 was so upset with the shape of the core script number in his name that he invented a whole new optional numbering system: Quezlar numerals. Delightfully, VI was the nickname of his wife, Violetta, which explains why 6 is spelled VI in Quezlarian Numerals."
